forward great hands hear medicine percent road sports surgery surprised
She's in great hands with Dr. Taft and our sports medicine staff, so I wasn't surprised to hear that everything went well with the surgery this morning. Now she can get on the road to recovery. We look forward to having her back at 100 percent in the fall.
early expected felt final road shame somewhere
I felt like somewhere down the road we would play Tennessee. I expected it to be in the Final Four. It's a shame that we have to play so early in the bracket.
road second seed team year
This is the second year we've had to do this, and this year we are the No. 1 seed yet we're having to play a team like Vanderbilt on the road in the second game.
definitely deserve good great hopefully maybe playing road somewhere team work
They're about the only good team that's not (in our bracket). They definitely deserve to be a No. 1 seed, and maybe somewhere down the road we will get to play. But there's a lot of great teams. I just want us to keep playing the way we've been playing, and hopefully things work out where we'll be able to be in Boston.
experience main players prove smiles success
When I was younger, I wanted to prove myself as a coach. But with the different things we have accomplished, now I don't have to prove myself as a coach. The main thing now is I just want my players to experience success and I want to see the smiles on their faces. I want them to have fun.
deal dealt foul talking
You have to deal with what's dealt to you. If we had made some foul shots, we wouldn't even be talking about (a loss).
behind forward glad looking monday playing
We're glad to get this one behind us. We're looking forward to playing on Monday night.
couple steals
We got a couple of steals and we got a couple rebounds. That made the difference.
fast supposed
We're very organized. Really. (The players) know what they're supposed to do. They just do it at a fast pace.
ball familiar focused playing rebound stay
We're very familiar with each other. We could be playing each other in another week. We just want to stay focused and try to keep doing what we've been doing but rebound the ball a little better.
cell center honest house messages moved office people phone smith today wanting wish
To be honest with you, today I wish we had moved it to the Smith Center because I don't like to say no to all these people that need tickets. My cell phone, my e-mail, my office phone, my house phone -- every one of them right now has messages from people wanting tickets, and I have no tickets.
fired played start
At Old Dominion, we didn't start with any intensity, while they were fired up and played really well. Tonight, we went after them early.
good moments
We had some really good moments out there, but there were still times we sputtered and stalled.
aggressive ball good kids movement played taking threw tried year
We just tried to do the same things we've been doing all year -- be aggressive defensively and offensively, taking the ball to the basket, getting it inside, getting good movement in our offense. Defensively we threw some different things at them. I thought our kids played really hard.
